Problem/Motivation

In #2716081: BlockContent should have revision_user and revision_created fields and implement RevisionLogInterface we are adding two new fields, revision_user and revision_created, these both need views support and views related tests.

Proposed resolution

  • Update EntityViewsData to support revision_user and revision_created fields + relationships
  • Update BlockContentViewsData with revision_user relationship to users table.
  • Add tests.

When we need a custom thing for BlockContentViewsData we should generalize it in EntityViewsData. The relationship to the user table should IMHO ideally happen automatically.

Version: 8.2.x-dev » 8.3.x-dev

Drupal 8.2.0-beta1 was released on August 3, 2016, which means new developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted against the 8.3.x-dev branch. For more information see the Drupal 8 minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal 8 release cycle.

Issue summary: View changes

The relationship to the user table should IMHO ideally happen automatically.

Updating the title and IS to this effect. One question, can the field names revision_user and revision_created be assumed to be the standard pattern? They currently only appear in the block content revision table.

Answered my own question :)

These fields are standard as they are also defined in RevisionLogEntityTrait.

It's possible all that is needed here are explicit tests? I just checked the views data for block content, and the relationship for revision_user is already setup, and revision_created is already properly detected as a date field for argument, sort, and filter plugins.

Here's a screen shot of the 'contextual filters' (the other plugins look very similar) popup on the block_content view as it looks now in 8.3.x.

These look like they are already working, so marking needs more info for now.

Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

Thanks!

Version: 11.x-dev » main

Drupal core is now using the main branch as the primary development branch. New developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted to the main branch.

Read more in the announcement.

Checking EntityViewsDataTest and this appears to still be the case.
